About My Clients
I come to this work with a deep reverence for the human experience and the courage it takes to turn inward. I am passionate about supporting highly sensitive souls, and those navigating anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. As someone who is no stranger to the rocky terrain of the psyche, I know what it feels like to feel lost, scared, and longing for relief. And yet, even amidst the chaos, there is wisdom, clarity, and calm that can always be found.
My Background and Approach
I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Saint Mary’s College of California, with a dual specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy & Professional Clinical Counseling. Before that, I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from UC Berkeley where my interest in the complexities of the human experience first began to take shape. My clinical training took me to Saint Mary’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) where I had the opportunity to support a diverse student population through brief psychodynamic therapy. In previous lives, I have worked extensively with children in educational settings and have supported youth in crisis stabilization.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that mental health cannot be fully understood without addressing the systems, histories, and identities that shape our inner and outer experiences. I strive to be a life-long learner and approach this work with cultural humility, a commitment to social advocacy, and an awareness of the broader contexts that impact well-being. I believe that therapy is sacred work and deeply personal. You are the expert of your own life, and I aim to come into the therapy space with humility, curiosity, and non-judgment. I hold that healing is rooted in safe relationships, collective care, and connection—and the therapeutic relationship is no exception. In our work together, I aim to co-create a therapeutic space that is collaborative, de-pathologizing, and rooted in mutual respect. My hope is to foster a space where you feel empowered to show up as your full self—where your stories, identities, and truths are respected and honored.
